Most commonly it's a phrase referring to something like a job or job promotion or the possibility of an award.
Example:
My co-workers had been up for promotion to supervisor, but another employee got the job instead.
The Lieutenant of this squad had been up for promotion to Captain, but got fired.
Sally had been up for valedictorian of her class, but she failed the last exam.
